Temporary disability placards (red) are issued for one to six months from the date of issue.  They are issued when there is a medical expectation that the disability will improve. 

A temporary disability parking placard may be obtained at any Secretary of State branch office.  A disability parking placard application is completed by the applicant and a physician, chiropractor, optometrist, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner.  Branch offices cannot accept photocopies of completed applications.  Blank application forms may be photocopied.  There is no fee for an original placard.

Temporary placards cannot be renewed.  If the temporary placard expires and the temporary disability still exists, a new application (again completed with a physician, optometrist, physician's assistant, or nurse practitioner) is required.

There is a $10 fee to replace a lost parking placard. Identification will need to be presented by the applicant at the time the placard is replaced. There is no fee to change a driver license number or I.D. card number on a placard due to a name change.
